In addition, the active surface of PCAP touchscreens is not directly touched and does not wear off by normal use because it is located on the back side of the touchscreen, instead of the front side. Therefore, the NCR CX5 All-in-One POS (7773) can be used in public or in severe environmental conditions.
4-82 Operation and Cleaning Cleaning the Touchscreen Touchscreens can be effectively cleaned with water or up to 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Follow these steps to avoid damage to the touchscreen: Warning: Do not use sharp objects to clean around the edges of the touchscreen. Do not use abrasive cleaners (powders) or abrasive cleaning materials (scrub brush, scouring pad).
